Hi @Miriah01

 

Delete temp files: open the Start Menu and type %temp% in the Search field  or click in the Run option in the Start Menu and type %temp% in the Run field.Press Enter and a Temp folder should open. You can delete all files found in this folder, and if any files are in use, they can be skipped.

 

Clear Origin cache https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/origin-my-games-list-is-blank/

 

Restart your machine .

 

Run the setup file Origin with Admin rights  http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/#2


 

My Opinion is no more important or right than yours.I'm a gamer like you, trying to help you (i'm not an EA employee).

Well that didn't work.  Just made it worse so now origin opens when I start the game as well as still opening when I quit the game. 

 

This is a nightmare and a royal pain in the rear end!

I am having a similar issue, but instead I have not even played any of the games or opened it and it will try to open randomly.

@SmiliKami You are no alone! I am having the exact same problem and it started maybe since the last Origin update. Now I regret all decisions of updating this thing.

Guessing this is why my post disappeared? As I, too, am having this issue. 3 times yesterday and already 4 to 5 times today. It's annoying as.....You know.

Same here. Only mine auto-updated and now won't stop opening itself up. My wife took a look at this morning and it was on autostart after reboot, but I've not rebooted my PC in about a week. That presents another issue, as 2 weeks ago when I did reboot it, I had turned it off to not auto-start during reboots. grrrr! About to uninstall and kiss EA completely goodbye.

I tried that @yahel_1 , it is still popping up when it shouldn't be. This time, it happened while I was afk and no one was using my PC. Really starting to think about uninstalling it, as I hardly play what few EA games I do own. Thanks for the idea though! Hope you're having a great weekend! Standard smile

My Origin client keeps randomly opening as well. It happens when I'm playing other games which are then forced to minimize so I can look at an Origin login window. I'm about 2 seconds away from uninstalling this annoying application.

Hi @Daalon , @exceptionalnull 

 

Try to perform a Clean Boot https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/FAQ/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

 

Then if your issue persists make sure you have removed all files and folders related to the installation Origin.

 

-manually uninstall Origin http://help.ea.com/en/article/manually-uninstalling-origin/


-run CCleaner http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-use-ccleaner-to-fix-pc-issues/

 

-then go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin -delete this Origin folder

 

-clear Origin cache https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

 

-delete temp files: open the Start Menu and type %temp%  in the Search field  or click in the Run option in the Start Menu and type %temp% in the Run field.Press Enter and a Temp folder should open. You can delete all files found in this folder, and if any files are in use, they can be skipped.

 

-now you have to go to your recycle bin and clean so there will no longer Origin exist as a file.

 

-restart your machine.

 

-install Origin as administrator ,very important to do  https://www.origin.com/en-ie/download 

 

I wait your feedback.
